| ca. 750.M30 | The Primarch Project | The Emperor of Mankind combines advanced Martian genetic engineering with the warpcraft he learned from the Chaos Gods to create the Primarchs and the gene-seed prototypes.

| ca. 780.M30 | The Emperor's geneticists refine the creation of the gene-seed that will allow him to create the Space Marine Legions. | [2] | ||
| ca. 780.M30 | The First Founding | The Emperor uses DNA samples from the Primarchs to create twenty Space Marine Legions. Grabya's Theorem demonstrates how Primarch genetic data could be used to stabilize genetic development of Space Marines. Sorian's Inductus Excelsus shows requirements for more warriors is vast. Accelerated gene-culturing techniques implemented, reducing processing time to create Space Marine to one year. However, accelerated gene-seed has unseen fundamental flaws. | "Most of the flaws in gene-seed structure will be written out in the course of the coming decades." | [4] |
| ???.M30 | The Antartic Clearance | The III Legion leads Imperial Army Group Antilles to victory. | [1] | |

The Legio Custodes and Astartes of the XVI Cohort of the III Legion defend the Emperor of Mankind, giving their lives so he can get to safety. In recognition of their sacrifice, the Emperor grants the III Legion the right to bear the Palatine Aquila in their heraldry and the right to invoke Exterminatus on Proxima. | [1] | |
| ca. 830.M30 | The III Legion's gene-seed reserves fail to arrive at the vaults on Luna and an artificial pathogen obliterates several gene-seed vaults on Terra, sealing the fate of the Legion. | In the "fourth decade of the Crusade," the "early decades of the III Legion's existence," and "Coming within a solar year" of Proxima. | [1] | |
| ???.M30 | Rediscovery of Fulgrim | The Emperor comes to Chemos and recruits Fulgrim to lead the III Legion, the 5th Primarch to be found. After Fulgrim addresses the two hundred surviving Astartes, the Emperor accepts the name he had given them, the Emperor's Children. | Fifty years after his arrival on Chemos. | [1] |
| ???.M30 | The Emperor's Children join Horus and the Lunar Wolves in the Great Crusade. | [1] | ||
| 840.M30 | The Pride of the Emperor's keel is laid down in the Jupiter shipyards. | 160 years before Laeran. | [6] | |
| ???.M30 | The Emperor, Lorgar, Ferrus Manus, Rogal Dorn, Fulgrim, and representatives of their legions and the Ultramarines come to Nostramo and recruit Konrad Curze to lead the Night Lords Legion. | [7][8] | ||
| 869.M30 | Compliance of Molech | In the presence of the Emperor, Horus, Fulgrim, Lion El'Jonson, and Jaghatai Khan, the Knight World Molech is brought to Compliance. Cyprian Devine of House Devine is named Planetary Governor. The Emperor garrisons Molech with almost a hundred Imperial Army regiments, three Adeptus Titanicus cohorts, and detachments from two legions to protect a secret that he suppresses in the memories of his sons. | [9][10] | |
| ???.M30 | Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children set out on their own with the 28th Expedition Fleet for the Byzas Campaign, where attempt to conquer the world with just seven men. | Some time before 970.M30, when the Luna Wolves are without the Emperor's Children. | [11] | |
| 984.M30 | Rogal Dorn objects to Konrad Curze and the Night Lords' brutal pacification of Cheraut. Curze nearly kills Dorn and is taken into custody, which he soon escapes, slaughtering the Imperial Fists and Emperor's Children guarding him. | Template:CanonConflict The Index Astartes article puts the Cheraut incident in 7232826.M29. | [12] | |
